#BehindTheBlogger Who do you Think you Are

#BehindTheBlogger Who do you think you are?


When I first saw the title, I was divided between discussing me or my kids. Let's discuss Kalen.

Kalen has started to pick up some of Brad's behaviors. Kalen is very observant. He may not pick up on something at first, but he eventually gets it, even if it's the wrong thing. The last thing I need is two Brad's.

Brad has a violent and aggressive side. Every day, something is getting thrown at me or at the walls, when he doesn't get his way. When he is mad, he uses three main words: bitch, no, and ooohhh. With the last few days, Kalen has knocked over my bedroom door multiple times for fun, while Brad was the one, who took down the door in the first place in a fit of rage. I am hesitant to put the door back on the hinges because I don't want it coming down again because of Brad's anger. Takes too much work to put it back up.

Brad also likes to throw shoes at the wall and at people. Kalen decided today, he will knock down the entire shoe rack with all the shoes still on it, twice. Who does Kalen think he is? If he is 4 and already picking up on Brad's bad behavior, then I am in trouble in the long run. Stacie needs serious help with both kids then, but not everyone understands that.

I have to return a call tomorrow to a home health agency for Brad because I do need extra help and I already had opposition from a relative for the aide to help me. I just can't do this parenting alone anymore, especially special needs parenting.

This is who I am. I am a special needs parent.

#BehindTheBlogger: Signs That I am Getting Old

Signs that I am getting Old

1. When I was a kid, I recorded songs off the radio onto a tape. I haven't listened to a radio station in years, let alone touched a tape or a cassette player. 
2. A long, long, long time ago, television used to turn off after a certain time. Some channels still do, such as HGTV, but I have Amazon prime video, Netflix, and Xfinity TV, plus 300 other channels to entertain me. 
3. We used to rent movies at Blockbuster and Hollywood Video, but now stream videos online, on demand, and with ChromeCast. 
4. I am struggling learning a new operating system, when it used to be easy for me. 
5. My oldest kid is a teenager. He is taller than me. 
6. My son's little cousins from my ex husband's side all now have kids of their own. It only has been 8 years since we separated and 1 year since divorce, but his cousins done popped out a lot of mini cousins. 
7. I graduated high school 17 years ago. 
8. I turn 40 in less than 5 years. 
9. I am sick of moving. My next move will be into my own place alone with kids or with a husband. I never want to move again. 
10. Finally, I am getting old because I don't have time for some b.s. anymore
